I haven't been on this site for a bit. But I haven't seen anyone share the photo the New Statesman staff staged in 2013 of Russell Brand as Christ, and themselves as his disciples. It seems to have been scrubbed from the web. It made me angry then and it makes me angry now.

Great to have a chance to discuss nuclear veterans, Andy Burnham and the Nuked Blood Scandal on GB News today.

The behaviour of Ian Winter KC delivering foul mouthed abuse at @RosamundUrwin at the end of the Russell Brand trial was revolting & wholly reprehensible. I have written to his chambers & to @thebarcouncil urging them to act. Others should do so. [email protected]

Great work from @fleetstreetfox 20% of the study were to sick to be included. Yet more evidence of govt and MOD malfeasance. The eventual court case could be very interesting @10DowningStreet @JasonMccue whattheydontwantyoutoknow.su…

This image of Russell Brand at the Guardian, where he had a column, is almost poetic, isn’t it? Look at him holding court, adored, by some, ignored by a few others.

For 38 years, govt said science proved nuclear test veterans weren't harmed. Now we know 1 in 5 were "too sick to be included." Time to bin the dodgy data. Here's What They Don't Want You To Know: whattheydontwantyoutoknow.su…

Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself. In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand. But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

Amazed that this barrister seems to be a git outside courts, as well.
Is this really conduct befitting a Kings Court Lawyer?

They were worse than that. His barrister's arguments undermined every rape victim, apportioned blame to everyone but the rapist, and were the kind of thing only mad, drunk uncles muttered in the 19th century. I hope he has a wife, daughter or mother who gave him a thorough bollocking for it.
So now we can say the thing that we couldn't say before: that Russell Brand's barrister's arguments on his client's behalf were utterly disgraceful and seemed rooted in the misogynistic past

This guy thought he'd win the last five by-elections as well. More pills, nurse!

The issue isn’t whether Trumpelstiltskin has been beaten. It’s the size of the hole he will leave in the floor.

For everyone angered by this - this is because the law allows this defence. And the law allows rapists to go free by arguing that they thought it was consensual. We need to change that so that men can’t say - she didn’t say no so it meant yes.

The brilliant department of journalism at @CityStGeorges was born the same year as I was. In 2000 I did my newspaper training there, thanks to the Scott Trust. We learned all the essential reporting skills - crafting a news story, shorthand, media law etc - but I also made close friendships that have abided to this day. Another 26 years on, still working in a trade I love, I’m delighted to have been shortlisted for their 50@50 Golden Trailblazers in Journalism alongside such incredible alumni. Thank you 🙏
